` This invention relates to improvements in hooks, which are more particularly adapted for vuse withI ropes such as"winch ropes. y

An object of the invention consists in the provisionof a hook for use with ropes which may be readily attached thereto and detached therefrom.

Another object of the invention consists in the provision of a hook which will prervent the bight of the rope slipping off the hook while it is in use. l

rlhese and further objects willrbe apparent from the following description, when considered in connection with the; accompanying drawing7 in which one embodiment of the invention is illustrated.

Referring to the drawing/'flingue l represents a side 'elevation oi the hook; Fig.

3 a perspective view showing a rope attachedto the hook.

ln the drawing7 in which Vsimilar characters of reference designate like parts throughout the several views7 5 represents ithe main body of the hook. The hook may be composed of iron orlike metal and is of substantially S-shaped form. This form comprises two half loops 6 and 'oppositely positioned with respect to each other. They curved portion or loop end Giterminates in a substantially circular shaped button 8,

- andthe curved portion 7 or hool section CO v terminates at its point'orhooliV end in aL `similarly shaped button 9. The button 9 is of smaller diniensionthan the button 8, and these buttons are so disposed on the ends of the-hook that they lie in planes substantially at right angles to each other. The button 9 themid-point-of the hook section.

` portion continued until it rests against the button 8. YWhen so a S serves to retain the hook in attached posiJ tion iii the eye of the rope. The hutten.

also lies substantiallyl at right angles to an axis passing'v from the shank to The remaining positioned, the button` ythe pointed end w prevent the slippage iobvious manner. hook and the rope with the bight portion of the rope in position on the hook section is best shown in Fig. 3. I i

rl'he use of the detachable hook is `c0nvcnientin passing the winch rope end under a pole lying on theA ground, and is also convenient in connection with the removal of thevhool in order to permit Yusing the rope for" pulling cable throughvrings.

r)The lhook may the free rope end when desiredfbutit crannot be accidentlydetached when a loadv is being carriedv by the rope andits associated hook.y When 'the i of tliehook A'serves to 'i n l of the bight of the "rope from'A the hook when in operation 41in Q Y The attachment. -f'tthe Winch rope end towhich rniinieiioiin yein) TELE."

The small end. of the hook enlarged by the provision of the button described, functions in such inannerthat if the bight of the rope should tend vto 'slidertoward the end of the hook,v would prevent it` from lVhat is claimed is: Y l.
